Walker PTT-K-M-EM-80-00 Push-To-Talk Telephone Black Handset

Walker PTT-K-M-EM-80-00 Push-To-Talk Telephone Black Handset

The Walker PTT-K-M-EM-80-00 is a professional-grade push-to-talk telephone handset engineered for dependable operation in installations requiring significant distance between the operator and the central communication equipment. This model combines a straightforward, momentary push-to-talk (PTT) function with an 80-foot extended straight cable, providing a robust and direct interface for keying transmitters from remote console positions.

Designed without amplification, it delivers clear, natural audio and is built for dispatch centers, security desks, and industrial control rooms where simplicity, durability, and extended reach are critical requirements.

Core Functionality: Direct Push-To-Talk Control Over Extended Distances

The handset’s primary feature is its reliable push-to-talk mechanism, which provides positive tactile feedback to the operator for intentional transmitter activation. This ensures communication is deliberate and prevents accidental key-ups. Designed as an unamplified unit, it uses a standard dynamic microphone and receiver to transmit and receive clear, natural voice audio without electronic gain or distortion.

The defining "EM-80" specification indicates an 80-foot extended straight cable, which allows the handset to be installed a considerable distance from the base radio interface or amplifier panel, a key solution for large control rooms, gatehouses, or facilities with distributed equipment layouts.

Durable Construction and Universal Integration

Built to the rugged Walker professional standard, this handset features a high-impact, chemical-resistant black housing designed for longevity in 24/7 operational environments. The "K-M" designation confirms the use of industry-standard "K-Style" microphone/receiver elements and a straight cord for a clean, permanent console installation.

Its straightforward wiring and common connector ensure direct, plug-and-play compatibility with a vast array of professional two-way radio consoles, intercom systems, and amplifier panels from Walker and other major manufacturers, requiring no special adapters or configuration.

Target Applications for Remote Console and Station Installations

The PTT-K-M-EM-80-00 is ideally suited for fixed console positions where operators are located far from the central rack equipment. Typical applications include security kiosks at perimeter gates, remote dispatch stations in transportation terminals, backup console positions in large operations centers, and any installation where standard-length handset cords are insufficient.

It solves the practical problem of maintaining direct, hardwired PTT control and clear audio over long cable runs without signal degradation or the need for additional interface boxes.
